Jason Allen has practiced architecture since 1998, building a diverse body of work spanning commercial, residential, institutional, and hospitality projects across the U.S. and internationally. His approach is grounded in clarity, rigor, and a deep understanding of how buildings perform – both for the people who inhabit them and the environments they shape. Known for his leadership on complex high-rise projects as well as small scale detail-oriented commissions, Jason brings a steady, hands-on perspective that balances design ambition with technical precision.
As co-founder of Workshop Design + Architecture, he is focused on shaping a practice that is thoughtful, collaborative, and forward-looking. His work resists formula, instead treating each project as an opportunity to explore how constraints, particularly environmental ones, can generate meaningful architectural form. The result is architecture that is purposeful, responsive, and quietly expressive.

Lisa Chow has been delivering complex projects since 2000, bringing a pragmatic, solutions-driven approach that balances design intent with the realities of construction and regulatory constraints. Her expertise includes adaptive reuse, building repositioning, and ground-up residential development. With a deep understanding of zoning and approvals processes, she approaches constraints as an integral part of the design process—using them to inform thoughtful, well-resolved architectural outcomes.
She co-founded Workshop Design + Architecture, where she has led a wide range of work in complex urban contexts. Her work is defined by clarity, coordination, and technical rigor, with an emphasis on precision in both design and execution. Lisa is known for her meticulous attention to detail, collaborative working style, and her ability to bring focus and coherence to complex projects from concept through completion.
